Class blog #3

Today in class we compared the internet and more generically, technology, and how it can act as a vampire towards many people. Especially in today's society it is so easy to get sucked in by technology. Most people spend hours and hours a day on the computer or their cell phones just to pass the time away. But what most people don't realize is that that is not living your life. Instead of surfing on the internet and reading things that other people have discovered and other peoples opinions, why not get out and see things and make your own opinions for yourself? Instead of having a conversation with someone over texting why not make it more personal and go grab coffee with that person so you can actually meet them and get a feel for their personality. I feel like technology is why more and more people are becoming socially awkward and aren't able to act correctly in public.

  1. I think this is very true! I find it hard to even hang out with friends because we are usually all on our phones and half the time don't even realize it. I wish I would spend less time on my phone and more time with family and friends while I have the chance too.
